    Great pizza and salads after hiking around. There are plenty of outdoor seatings for large and small groups, and dogs are allowed which is nice. The pizza was so delicious and filling with a nice thick crust. Everything was a tad expensive but I guess you're in the middle of no where.

    A nice place to hang out after a long day of hiking. Food wasn't anything special but it was all good. Nice variety of beers. Outdoor seating was very relaxed and comfy. Would definitely return here if I was back in Ashford.

    Mushroom Swiss burger

    Loved the burgers, beer selection, and outdoor atmosphere. Planning to go back here for post-hike meal when visiting the park again. Not too pricey for it being one of the few options for food around the national park. Timely service and fun employees.

    Hummus Wrap

    5 stars for ambiance and atmosphere. They've got lots of outdoor seating, a great view, and live music! There are a few indoor tables for when the weather's bad. Lots of beer and drinks options. 0 stars for everything else. The line is forever line and barely moves. It took 30-40 minutes to get up to order. (Imagine if you only wanted another beer!) We ordered and got fries as our side. Waited another 30 or so minutes for our food and when I went to pick up was told "we can't sell fries anymore" which I think means they were out.... But bad on them for not knowing when to stop selling fries before you ordered. I specifically choose this spot because the fries looked better than the other options in Ashford and I just wanted some tasty fries. I got the hummus wrap which was about 3% hummus and 97% lettuce greens on a stale wrap. My husband's BLT was meh. Overall fine place if you want to hang out outside and drink. Otherwise the food and waiting game experience is not worth it.

    After running a 5K in nearby Ashford County Park, I drove over to Rainier BaseCamp Bar & Grill to grab a bite to eat. I had come by here earlier in the week to check out the sports store that is next door. BaseCamp announced that they would be open for all of us runners after the event. This place has a nice chili vibe to it. Basically you order at the window and they buzz you when your food is ready. You can sit anywhere outside to eat your food. The menu at Rainier BaseCamp Bar & Grill has a variety of options that include burgers, pizza and beer. They also have vegetarian and gluten-free items. I grabbed a Mushroom Swiss Burger and a local beer to reward myself for a good run. They have big community picnic tables to dine at, so I was able to make a couple of friends while eating. I had a nice time here and it was a good way to end my week exploring the Mount Rainier area. There is very little WiFi in Mount Rainier National Park and it can be spotty in the areas surrounding the park. Rainier BaseCamp was a good place for me to stop and connect outline so I could get some work done. Rainier BaseCamp also has live music and other events. They offer meal packages for hikers and climbers if you are planning a big hike in the park.

    Ashford is putting its big boy pants on. They have a burger and brew place now, with outdoor fireplaces and picnic tables. A tad expensive. Burgers are fine but fries were sad and very mid. This place will thrive because demand outstrips supply. Decent patio.

    Gross pizza

    Cool vibes and location. Horrible food. We got a pizza. Super doughy, low quality cheese and sauce. Took about 40 minutes to get it. Won't come back even tho food is hard to find in this area.

    The location is fantastic but the veg burger and PB options were very disappointing. I gave three stars because the location is great!

    Like many people driving through Ashford, I had just gotten done with a very early morning of…read morehiking at Rainier. I stopped here very hungry and desperate for a good hot meal after lots of trail food. This is a great option for a meal right near the park. Though a little overpriced, they have great options for a healthy (or sweet) meal anytime of day. Employees are very friendly and the vibe is quiet and quaint. Food was very solid with ample portions. It's a very cutesy interior with nice wooden trim everywhere, big wooden stools and tables, and a nice clean bathroom. My crepe had veggies and turkey, plus some cheese. Ratios were good and it was nicely seasoned. The cappuccino was decent. Pretty standard. Delicious honey cake! Not a dessert you can get everywhere in the U.S., so I was excited to order it. The only reason I don't put it at 5 stars is because it's overpriced. Everything is in this area of course, it's right by the park, and they can only really operate successfully during the months when the park is open. I would come back here to try their lunch and dinner service. And of course it's much better than fast food after a day of hiking. Be sure to stop by their lavender fields on your way out for some wonderful smells!

Also, the establishment is in a lovely location a few miles from Mt Ranier NP. Alas neither the service nor food was good. While we didn't wait long for initial service to take our order and to get our wine and salads, the entrees took a while (didn't check my watch to see how long we waited) and the dishes were delivered separately; I had the chicken kebabs (both meat and vegetables were cold). By the time I stopped eating (I ate less than half of my entree), my husband got his entree. He ordered the pork ribs, which were the appropriate temperature and tasted good. As for service, twice we asked another server to get the person waiting on us for water and a second glass of wine for my husband, and to ask for our check. At the beginning of our experience, we saw interesting entrees on the menu for breakfast and thought to return in the next day or so and give them another try. After a disappointing dinner experience, we will not return.

We arrived around lunchtime, and got seated right away. Both the exterior and interior had a rustic vibe, with a wood stove and beautiful wall mural of the mountain. I started with a Hot Cider to warm up, which really hit the spot. My friend and I ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich (daily special) to share, as well as a slice of the famous Blackberry Pie. The Chicken Parmesan Sandwich was solid, but nothing too memorable. The cutlet was a little thick for my preference, but it got the job done. The real star, of course, was the Blackberry Pie! The texture of the crust was perfect and the filling tasted delightfully homemade. We got it without ice cream since it was chilly, but I'm sure it's fantastic with a scoop, as well! They also had some cute local gifts for sale, and I snagged a bar of artisan blackberry soap. Service was friendly and quick!

We did take some time to wait before seated, to get our food and to get our bill, I guess it was understandable since it was a holiday weekend, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

We both ordered the prime rib, medium. My wife requested a salad and I asked for soup. Neither side ever arrived. After we saw the steaks, we decided to cut our losses. The prime rib was only about a quarter-inch thick, which is already a red flag if you know steaks. It was cooked hard as leather. I ate about half of mine; my wife boxed hers up. When we got back to the hotel we threw it in the trash. I understand this is a roadside attraction, and it has been around a long time, so I assumed the food would at least be decent. I would not recommend the food. The experience of eating in a train car is neat, but that is about it. This was not the first meal we have had to throw away this week. The man running the place was very nice, so no complaints there. A couple renting a room for the night seemed excited about staying, and I have nothing negative to say about that--only the food.

Well, I took my daughter and sisters to NW trek today for a visit and we stopped at the trek cafe for a pretzel with cheese and a hot dog, man am I regretting it awfully. I'm currently sick to my stomach and I'm not sure if it's from the hot dog or pretzel but when I had breakfast at home this morning, I definitely was not puking my brains out and constantly running to the bathroom to go #2. Just be cautious when getting food, the hot dog didn't look or smell weird but this is the only other food I ate today and I had a 2-3 hour gap in between my meals so that's why it makes me think it's from the food from here.

The prices are really good, the food is acceptably good, and the people working at the cafe do their best to make it a pleasant experience. It's cafeteria style with limited choices, but at least they're not ripping you off to make a huge profit. The cafe's hours vary seasonally; check the website. They do catering for groups of 20 or more with 15 days' notice. They have an extensive indoor menu: http://www.nwtrek.org/files/library/ad65a1631e8aad84.pdf and a pretty big all-you-can-eat outdoor menu: http://www.nwtrek.org/files/library/0762cf2ace93f4c4.pdf The catering menu's prices are considerably higher than the everyday prices in the cafe, and the menu is dramatically different, so I'm pretty sure the local teenagers aren't doubling as the caterer's staff. :-) Here's a sampling of some of the items and prices: Cheeseburger - $3.50 Grilled Chicken Sandwich $4.25 Hot dog $2.25 Fish and chips $5.25 Pizza $4.25 Fries $2.25 Cold cut sandwiches $5.25 Chef Salad $5.25 Ice cream treats $1.25 and up Hot chocolate $2.00 Soda $1.65, $2, or $3 (plastic souvenir cups for the smallest and largest sizes, and free refills while you're in the cafe) Bottled water $2
